KANSAS CITY, Mo. (July 23, 2014) – Oklahoma Christian’s men’s basketball team was named Wednesday as the recipient of a Team Academic Excellence Award by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

To receive the award, members of a team must have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or better. That number must include the GPAs of all student-athletes who competed for the team during the season. OC’s squad had a cumulative GPA of 3.064.
